Summer Break Baltimore
Summer Break Baltimore is a fun, free program for all ages that encourages literacy and learning in our community all summer long.

Thank You for Joining Us!
Summer Break Baltimore 2025 has wrapped up after a successful summer of reading, events, and activities! During the months of June, July, and August, over 25,000 participants used raffle tickets to log the books they read and the programs they attended during the summer.
Prizes included gardening kits, flamingo LEGO packs, Bmore summer snowball kits, retro cooler sets, and tickets to local attractions. Summer Break participants had the opportunity to receive a free Summer Break Baltimore t-shirt, and one free book per month to add to their home library.
